Victoria Park, Mile End (London)

This park is absolutely huge and easy to spend an entire day at.

Best visited in the summer when the water play areas and fountains are switched on to make the most of your visit.

There are several playgrounds: one near the duck pond and cafe which is great for toddlers as has various play houses for them to explore plus swings and slides etc.

As you walk away from the cafe area you’ll get to the other main play areas which is where you’ll find fountains and waterways for children to play in.

The play equipment over this side is suitable for all ages and involves some of the biggest slides I’ve ever seen, lots of bridges/ropes for climbing as well as diggers, instruments and a skate park.

The cafe do some really lovely food but it is quite pricey (and hipster) so if that’s not your thing then you may want to bring a picnic and have yourself a free day out!

Cost: Free
